Yukon man told teen online he wanted to choke, gag her, deputies say

A Yukon man was arrested Friday after he pursued a sexually encounter with a fictitious 15-year-old he met online, according to Canadian County undersheriff, Chris West.

Nathan M. Jones, 34, was transported to the Canadian County Jail, where he was booked on complaints of soliciting sexual conduct with a minor.

According to deputies, Jones, who claimed to be a martial arts expert and Iraqi war veteran, responded to an internet ad that was posted by an undercover sheriff’s deputy at 9:30 a.m. on Friday, and stated he was "looking for friends."

According to officials with Canadian County Sheriff’s Internet Crimes against Children, Jones responded quickly and aggressively pursued a sexually explicit conversation, and requested nude photographs from the fictitious 15 year old female, Lacy.

Deputies said Jones was told nude photos would not be sent. Jones then stated that clothed photos would be acceptable, and added that he wanted to look at the photos while touching himself. Investigators said Jones was sent an extremely graphic description of exactly how he planned to have sex with the teen including that he planned on choking and gagging her.

"When Jones began describing the violent things he intended to do, my deputies realized he posed a serious threat and they went into high gear to make an arrest," said Randall Edwards, Canadian County Sheriff.

Jones asked to meet the teen about at a Mustang Walmart parking lot, according to deputies. Upon Jones’ arrival, deputies surrounded the vehicle, and Jones surrendered, and admitted to being the person who sent all the texts, investigators said.

"We raise our children not to believe in monsters, but in reality they exist and come in the form of these child predators I’m committed to apprehending," said Edwards.

Jones remains jailed with bond set at $50,000.00.
